Please understand that I want to like Remington. My first centerfire rifle was a 1997 M700 and it was terrific. I wish I had not traded it toward the 2011 Model Seven. And I look forward to buying another 700 after Big Green improves their quality. My attitude toward Remington is much like my attitude toward the US car industry in the 1980s: I want to buy your products, but I won't buy inferior products out of loyalty when there are much better options out there.
